    "content": "If you go to other countries like Canada and the USA, you will find that their tax collection procedures are very simple. Once you are tax compliance, many people will collect this money. If you want to do business in this country, you will find that there is tax compliance. It is everywhere, whether you are a simple businessman or whoever you may be doing. Even when it comes to job opportunities, before you are paid you must produce a tax compliance certificate. So, for Kenyans to be tax compliant, it is high time KRA developed some simple procedures of getting the tax compliance certificate. It is actually very difficult to get it. They need to cascade it to the county level and if possible to the sub-county level so that Kenyans can know how much they owe or what they are supposed to do so that they can pay this money to help run the Government. The corruption we have in this country is mostly to do with the governors. This includes the wheelbarrow scandals or the maendeleo chap chap. You can name them. They are at the county level. So, it is, indeed, important that when it comes to the country level, the issues of tax collection must be streamlined. The KRA must wake up and help the counties in tax collection. When you are told maendeleo chap chap, it actually means corruption chap chap which is its opposite ."
